The BJP government has set a very dangerous target for itself and the Congress will not let it succeed under any circumstances.

Sharp attack on Assam government

Before the meeting, Gaurav Gogoi also launched a scathing attack on Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. He said that during the present government in Assam, new cases of corruption and misgovernance are coming to light every day. Gogoi alleged that the MLAs associated with Himanta Biswa Sarma’s cabinet are constantly embroiled in controversies. He said, “Every day you see in the news that an MLA’s name is coming up in cases like cow smuggling, threats in illegal land deals, being linked to the sand and coal mafia. Not only this, questions have also been raised about the citizenship of an MLA and his identity as a Bangladeshi is being discussed.” Gaurav Gogoi alleged that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has completely failed to answer these serious questions. He said that the people of Assam are now fed up with this misgovernance and will respond to it democratically in the times to come.
